A little bit about Avaganda Africa Restaurant & Cafe
Avaganda Africa Restaurant and Cafe is owned by Piet and Susan Nel who have made New Zealand their new home, embracing the fresh produce NZ has to offer to make authentic traditional African and South African meals.
Now located on The Strand in Whakatane, the restaurant and cafe has a African decor theme.
We are a family restaurant and children are well looked after with toys and a kiddies menu available.
Ava is the slang word for ‘have’ and ganda means ‘look’. Put the two together and you get ‘have a look’. Also with being located at the White Goose Winery, gander also means ‘goose’. So come and have a ganda at Avaganda and see for yourself the wonderful delights we have to offer.
